David is a struggling blue-collar captain looking to make a better life for his family. Strangely drawn to an abandoned ship that is up for auction, David impulsively buys the boat, believing it will be his family’s ticket to happiness and prosperity. But soon after they embark on their maiden journey, strange and frightening events begin to terrorize David and his family, causing them to turn on one another and doubt their own sanity. With tensions high, the ship drifts off course, and it becomes horrifyingly clear that they are being lured to an even greater evil out at sea. (RLJ Entertainment)

Mary is an American production with a decent cast and a narrative featuring a pretty interesting mystery. However, it falls down a bit because it is played for effect and is rather superficial. However, if you are fine with that, it is an OK horror movie with some very professional performances, although perhaps not that memorable.

There might be something to Mary if Michael Goi didn’t ruin every potentially effective scene and if the developed atmosphere didn’t have complete stillness. And he had the ambitious Captain Oldman on board, the ability to change the pace, and to obscure the plot with transitions to interrogations, plus a fairly interesting idea with a malevolent entity that once chose the ship as its body. As Seneca once said, there is no favorable wind for a sailor who doesn’t know where to sail.
